HER LOVERS APPARITION.

A singular story came to light in
New Haven;cConn., the other day.
involving the late DR.. Luther J.
Martin, who died in a Brooklyn hos
pital recently. Dir. Martin was a
Yale graduate, and had just obtained
a position at the head Of the staff of
the hospital when he died He was
very popular young man in society
and was attentive to an estimable
young lady of New London. 4 few
days previous to his illness he had
written her, and she supposed him in
the best of health. When he was
taken sick he failed 50 rapidly that
he was not able to write to her. His
sickness lasted but few days
On the night of his death theyoung
lady was startled in her sleep by see
ing the form of DR.. Martin cross the
room, moving toward her couch. At
the loot OF the bed 1t stopped and re-
garded her for moment silently,
but pleasantly, and then it moved to-
ward the head of the couch and plac-
ed one of its hands caressingly upon
her shoulder. 1t stood in this atti-
tude for moment and then vanish
ed. At the breakfast table she rela-
ted the occurrence, remarking: Il
believe there is something the matter
with Lutte" Half an hour later %
telegram was received announcing
the death of DIR. Martin at 4 o'clock
that morning, the precise time at
which the apparition visited the
young lady's beside.

ANOTHER LULU HURST.

The Cumming Clarion is informed
by Mr.. S. Terry, who spent last week
in Buford, on the Air Line Railroad.
of case which rivals the celebrated
Lulu Hurst. He, in company with a
well-known minister of that place,
visited the home of little girl nine
years old, and who is rather under
sized. They had heard of the chill's
powers and desired to put them to
test. MIR. Terry saw the child lay
one hand on the top of a table and
move around the room with it as
though it were mere playthiug. An
ordinary child of that age could hard
ly have moved the table at all. Mr..
Terry, who is quite muscular, then
took hold of stout stick, grasping it
at both ends; the child placed her
hands on the stick in the middle,
and before he knew it the stick was
wrenched out of his grasp. The ex-
pertinent was tried the second time,
Mr.. Terry exerting his whole strength
to hold it, with the same result. A
door, which fastened with button,
was then closed and person placed
outside to push against it. By sim
ply placing her hands on the door
the button gradually moved until the
door was untastened. 1t is said that
when she touches the wall that a
person placing his ear against the OPP
posite side can hear a clinking sound
resembling the noise made by a tele-
graph instrument. 1t is stated, and
can be proven, that small stones fire.
1uently tall in showers around her
while she is in the house. No one
can tell where they come from. Also,
that in whatever part of the room
she is in popping sound is heard
apparently in the wood. These are
only few of the facts the child is
able to perform. She has bad health
and is not considered bright, but
there can be no sort of doubt as to
her powers.

THE SOUFH,S FUTURE.

In large volume recently issued
by the bureau of statistics at Wash
ington, is to be seen special report
on the industrial condition, transpor-
tation and other facilities Of ten
southern states, which report is based
upon facts gathered by experts an
pointed for the purpose, and con-
cludes as follows:
W hatever speculation may be de-
duced from the exhibit here made. or
the lessons it may teach our states
men, it will not be questioned that
the reports furnish evidences of re-
operative energy Of material pro-
gress and development by the south
ern people unexampled in the histo-
ry OF our civilization in short, that
the new and mightier south is rapid
ly emerging from the blight and des-
olations oil the civil war, and promis-
es in short time to attain high de-
gree OF prosperity.
1t is new, a fraternaI revolution
waged with the implements Of peace
"a revolution against commercial
and industrial vassalage. 1t means
life, instead Of death: power instead
of weakness; progress, instead Of re
procession ; prosperity, instead of adj
versity; order, instead of anarchy:
independence, instead of slavish re-
lance upon others tor food and cloth
ing, and the machinery of reyivifed
and progressive agriculture. Sec
tionalism is dead, and the south has
great future. * = 'SThe north is rich
in capitql the south is undeyeloped

water power, a genial climate. ! <
x : The issues are these Shall we
longer permit northern manuiactor
res, at ruinous drafts upon our de-
pleted eXchequers, to manufacture
our raw materials for us, we trans
porting them long distances to their
mills, and then their fabrics back
again to the south, or shall we manu-
facture ourselves with the material at
our own doors? Is it not possible
tor us, favored by a better, because
less rigorous, climate, and with labor
ers more docile and less liable to
strikes, to manufacture our own cot
ton along side the fields which pro-
duce it? Can we not stretch forth
the hand of enterprise and success
fully compete with those who. be-
cause Of our exclusive attention to
agriculture in the past, have filled
the markets of the world with their
wares, and our own as well

The state of affairs in the drought
stricken section of Texas is deplora-
BILE. Many of the farmers have been
compelled to seek homes in more
favored parts of the State. Many
have been forced to seek work on the
railroads, while others have gone in
to the fields and are working side by
side with negroes at 25c a day. 9th
ers still must be supported by the
charitable until they can plant and
cultivate their crops. On every hand
the greatest want and suffering pre-
vail. Texas is, in some respects, an
unfortunate State. Scarcely a year
passes but that one or more sections
of it suffer from drought or some 9TH
er evil. In Georgia, while the sea-
sons are sometimes bad and the crops
are not always good, there is never
any widespread want or suffering.
With proper attention to his business
the Georgia farmer may always make
a good living. Nevertheless, there
is constant exodus from Georgia to
Texas, and in many instances valua-
BILE citizens are thus lost to the State.

MANUFACTURERS,

The Cincinnati Enquirer shows
the direction in which the South
should progress:
LAS soon as the South has got
something to haul all the year round,
1T will be to the interest of the rail
roads to reach out more and more for
it, Hitherto the hauling out of cot
ton has been almost the only thing
to be depended upon as a return
freight from the South, and this cot
ton naturally got by the quickest
route to the seaboard, so that it could
be put ON ship and sent to its desti-
nation. Hence the railroads leading
North and East for much of the year
were hard up for something to do.
They carried in good deal of pork
and salve stuff, and breadstuffs as we'll
to feed the people ON the plantations,
but this bore no comparison with the
enormous exchange going on between
the seaboard and the great West,
where populous cities with rising
Western systems were sending east
ward more than the East could return
to them. Lumber and furniture,
ores, coke, beef, grain, and no end of
things have been going and coming
before and since the war ON the
Northern zone,
The manufacturing system in the
South is the real cause of the present
activity in railroads, and the princi-
pie excuse tor so much time on the
New York Stock Exchange being
taken up in these almost forgotten
securities. The cheapness fuel, la
Dor and iron ore in that great region
for which Grant, Sherman, Mitchell
and Thomas fought have attracted
men who know how to make money
out Of such things, and where the
manufacturers go the railroad spirit
hastens to attend.
